The affected transmissions are the F50N, AX4N and AX4S. The problem is caused by a restricted transaxle vent. The fix requires replacing the transaxle vent with a 90° vent on the transaxle back to the cowl area next to the brake master cylinder and tie wrapped in place with the end of the hose facing down.

The new vent is Part # 1C3Z-7034-AA. If you need more information on how to make the repair, see Technical Service Bulletin 06-18-13.

Get the BEST auto repair informationAlldatadiy.com and Eautorepair.net are the two best shop manuals—period! Unlike the cheaper Haynes and Chilton manuals that cover multiple year models, leaving the exact information you need to fix your car, these professional manuals cover your exact year, make, model. A subscription includes up-to-date the manufacturer’s technical service bulletins, step-by-step removal and installation instructions, illustrations, wiring diagrams, component locations, torque specifications, fluid types and capacities and maintenance schedules. Plus, they contain full trouble code descriptions and troubleshooting instructions.

Which one should YOU choose? If you’re tracking down a wiring issue, Eautorepair.net is the better choice. Eautorepair.net redraws factory wiring diagrams in color and includes the component, splice and ground locations right in their diagrams. That saves a lot of time because you don’t have to refer back to the component locator or circuit locations. Alldatadiy.com, on the other hand, uses the factory diagrams. So you have to refer to the factory legends to learn the identification symbols and then refer back to circuit diagrams to find the splice and ground locations. However, Alldatadiy.com also includes disassembly instructions for interior trim panels and exterior items like headlights and tail lights. If you need to dig into your doors, dash or console, Alldatadiy.com is the better choice because Eautorepair.net doesn’t any interior or exterior trim or body part removal.
